From the analysis of information and information leaks regarding the strong attack on Iran’s vital infrastructures, which was once again promised and then canceled by US President Trump, it becomes clear that there is no trump card to “subdue” Iran at the moment.
The Iranian strategy of this armed conflict, which flares up and fades out regularly, is very clear. It is not aimed at stopping the war at any cost, but taking advantage of geographical and other incomparable advantages, to irreversibly exhaust the stronger opponent in that war.
At the same time, as the end result of this strategy, the Iranian side also declares two basic goals at the level of rhetoric: recording the full control of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran and the possible limitation of the US military presence in the Persian Gulf region, and in the best case, the complete nullification.
Accordingly, everything else for Tehran is a derivative of these two main goals, because with the control of the Strait of Hormuz and the absence of the US military presence, Iran will become the sole master of the entire Persian Gulf, figuratively speaking, with enormous advantages.
